The fly is similar to the Frances series which are dressed mostly in red, green and black and represents a prawn. To read more about Frances flies please see http://www.ifish4life.com/the-frances-flies.html
I think blue pattern flies are not fished as often as the green/yellow /black flies on the Gaspe. I have had very good luck fishing blue flies on the Gaspe. It is a shame that I did not get there earlier this month to try them. I have some new blue flies to show in the coming weeks that I would loved to send for a swim.
